Clinton is rising in North Carolina

PPP's new North Carolina poll finds Hillary Clinton with her largest lead in the state since May. 61% of Democrats in the state support Clinton to 24% for Bernie Sanders, 5% for Martin O'Malley, and 2% for Lawrence Lessig. A month ago Clinton led 51/23 in a Joe Biden-less field and these numbers suggest that pretty much everyone who's made up their mind since then has gone into her camp.

North Carolina provides more evidence of Clinton's favorability numbers improving over the last month. She's gone up a net 9 points from +34 (63/29) in September to now +43 (67/24). Her lead is pretty steady across the board- she gets 74% with African Americans, 66% with seniors, 65% with liberals, 62% with women, 60% with men, 58% with moderates, and 57% with whites. The group where Sanders come closest is with younger voters, but even there Clinton still has a 50/34 advantage.

but they are trying to limit the vote. they are moving polls to places you can only reach by car and generally screwing around with districts.
eta heh, I thought you were talking about against republicans, go figure, I can't read.

Hillary always had a huge lead but they included Biden to make it look like a horse race. We all said without Biden her lead would grow.
Bernie is flat lining.
He is never going to get much more than 25%. Both he and his supporters are turning people off with their superiority complex.
Bernie has no new issues. He picks up what ever he thinks plays to the group he wants to talk to.
His attacking Hillary only plays to his supporters and doesn't grow his numbers. Also that "I said it first" line doesn't play well because we aren't living in the 90's.
He has nothing in his bag of tricks.
The name recognition meme has run out of steam.
All they have left is to constantly make up any kind of anti Hillary statement they can throw against the wall and hope it sticks.
Soon they will need some anger management.
